For the next election, Cobourg will be in the Riding of Northumberland-Clarke - formerly Northumberland-Peterborough South.  This was formed after a re-distribution in 2023. See below for more on re-distribution.

But until the next election, the Riding is still Northumberland-Peterborough South.

Northumberland-Peterborough South

In 2021, incumbent Conservative M.P. Philip Lawrence won with a big majority although Liberals were returned nationally with a minority Government.  The next scheduled election will be in October 2025 although with a minority in the House, an earlier election is possible.

Redistribution

At the next election, the boundaries will be changed.  The new boundary is basically the same except it excludes Peterborough-South - that's Northumberland plus a small extension in the West. It is called Northumberland-Clarke.

As of 14 August, June, 2024, the Green Party had not recognized the boundary change. But then, the boundaries do not change until the next election,  However, I note that goal of Riding associations (EDAs) is to win the riding for their party so the new boundaries are where they need to focus.
